This
class is on developing a personal mission statement or vision statement. A
personal mission statement is a description of your values, interests, hopes
and aspirations. It is the definitive synopsis of the focus of your life and
the blueprint for your future.

Composing
your personal mission statement and electing to pattern your life around it
empowers you with clarity, decisiveness, insight and foresight, and guides you
gracefully through life's challenges and transitions. Formulation of a mission statement
requires deep contemplation, thorough evaluation and thoughtful expression to
produce a precise written expression of our divine purpose.

Your
mission statement becomes the architecture of the intentional application of
your vision and values. It is the benchmark for everything in your life.
Following the simple steps you will learn in this class, you will be able to
develop a compelling personal mission statement.

A
Personal Mission Statement is a brief but powerful statement of your characteristics
and plans that guides you on your path.
